i salute our chairman, steve israel, for being a spectacular field marshal in all this. i commend all of my colleagues, mike leaders, steny hoyer, -- chris van hollen, the list goes on. all the women who traveled. we were thinking it was possible, and it was. i would say the one disappointment that i had was that medicare message that was at stake was so misrepresented by republicans that the people were confused. people said, why did the democrats want to cut medicare? we did not. we used the savings of medicare to extended for another decade and provide benefits immediately for seniors right now. republicans took that same money and gave tax cuts to the rich. that was a message that outside money spent a fortune to misrepresent. that is why the election of barack obama was so very important. to protect medicare -- even though we could not get the majority, we knew when he won that many of the issues, affordable care, medicare, were protected. we had a different view of what happened that day. we saw some of the members that we elective, the intellect we brought in here

israel said, that is fair to middle-class americans. that we need to have growth. put growth on the table. how do we get growth? if we have growth, we can produce revenue. we make decisions about running. we make decisions about cuts to the extent that they promote growth. that is something that we stand ready to support the president and something similar to what he proposed last year. i do not know what his current proposal will be. we will hopefully find that out on friday when we go to the white house. i want you to be disabused of any notion that there is any widespread thought that it would be a good thing for our country for us to go over the cliff. we want an agreement. we want an agreement. i will see you tomorrow at 10:00 or those of you who are interested. see you there? >> stay tuned. interest. >> on the first day of legislative business since the 2012 election, the senate as outlined their party positions on eliminating the fiscal cliff. from the senate floor, this is 20 minutes. >> after our election, i welcome everyone back. the summer was a last bre

that is a matter between israel and the palestinians, and the u.s. can nudge and between and all of that. but in the end, if netanyahu and the palestinians are not in the position to bring resolution to this, then at it is not really going to be something that president obama can do. certainly something he would like very much to do. netanyahu -- i mean, now that the election is over, i think we will see prime minister netanyahu have a recalculation of the relationship with obama and how it has to go forward. it has not been close in the previous four years. it has been pragmatic and grudgingly accepting a reality on both sides, but there is an opportunity for that to change. host: do you have thoughts on that, scott? guest: just a follow-up. netanyahu had a personal relationship with romney and was a very secret about who he wanted to win the election and that was not president obama, who applied quite a bit of pressure to israel in his first term to try to secure a peace deal called israel settlements in the west bank. israel felt sort of hard-done

obviously, that is up to israel to decide. however, i will say that we continue to believe that there is still a window of opportunity to reach some kind of resolution over iran's nuclear program. now i am not wild eyed optimistic about it, but it is imperative that we do everything we can, unilaterally, bilaterally, multilaterally to test that proposition. i think what was meant about the march reference was either about the iaea and its continuing work or the fact that we finished our election and now it would be a good time to test the proposition, that there can be some good faith in syria's negotiations. i think that it is a difficult matter to predict because it really depends upon how serious the iranians are about making a decision that removes the possibility of there being able to acquire a nuclear weapon or the components of one that can be in effect on a shelf somewhere and still serve as a basis for intimidation. we get differing reports, as i'm sure you have seen, as how the supreme leader is about that, but we w
